Adelina Sotnikova Out for Grand Prix Season

We won't be seeing the reigning Olympic Champ compete in the Grand Prix season due to a torn ligament she incurred at practice last week.

Ouch. There goes her chance to prove herself post-Olympics before the Russian championships next month.

My prediction is that she will get her butt handed to her by the likes of Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Elena Radionova and potentially Yulia Lipnitskaya (if she gets her head on straight) and/or Anna Pogorilaya. Which means there's a chance we wouldn't see her compete this year at Worlds.

But she does have that clout around her from Sochi. I'm very curious to see how Russian nationals goes down this year...
